PTI’s Naz Baloch jumps ship, joins PPP

Addressing the media alongside Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and senior PPP figure Faryal Talpur at the party’s media cell, she said “I’ve returned home as my father laid down the foundation of the PPP alongside Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto”.

She said she does not want to smear the party where she spent seven years of her life. “I am a representative of Sindh. I disagree with the PTI’s policies which focus only at Punjab and the centre’s politics,” she said.

Criticising the appointment of the same group of people as the PTI’s Karachi heads, she said it is no surprise that the party’s support has dwindled in the city. She claimed the party which garnered votes to bring about ‘change’ has itself changed now.

Baloch said the youth is being better represented by PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

The move comes after several recent moves into the PTI of PPP leaders in Punjab. The most recent transfer was of former PPP senator Babar Awan, who has since assumed the charge of being one of the party’s spokespersons.
